IntercityHotel Berlin Hauptbahnhof

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and adequately sized. The bed was comfy but the pillows need to be bigger. Also the towels were pretty wimpy. The bar was nice and had good drinks. The hotel was close to the train station but all the historical sites we wanted to see were not close so we did lots of walking. There are mostly fast food type of restaurants located near by."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Berlin

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Berlin is during January, August, and November when hotel rates are at their lower prices, making it a great value for money destination for those on a budget. For a thorough exploration of Berlin’s rich history, landmarks, and cultural sites including museums, monuments, and historic architecture, it is advisable to stay for at least 3 to 4 days. This duration offers ample opportunity to experience the city's urban charm, vibrant dining scene, theatre venues, and art galleries, all of which contribute to a budget-friendly and culturally enriching visit.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: For Berlin travel, you may discover discounted options by visiting Hotels.com's DealsOpens in a new window section or by checking Last-Minute Deals for offers close to your departure. You could find flash sales and special promotions by enabling email alerts or push notifications, keeping you informed about price changes. The Hotels.com app also features Smart Shopping , a comparison tool that assists in evaluating hotel prices and amenities, allowing you to stay updated on availability and secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your dates might help you save on your stay in a Berlin hotel. For those seeking unique experiences, boutique hotels could offer a more personalised touch and sometimes even better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If it appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative, more affordable dates that could help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be pricier, but thanks to Berlin's outstanding public transport system, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well-connected. For those eager to explore alternative, less congested neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more genuine and budget-friendly experience.
